Though in a rural location, Epworth has easy access to the motorway network. From Junction 2 on the M180, take the A161 south (signed to Gainsborough) and the town is just 3 miles away.
Once you reach Epworth, turn left at the lights up the high street until you see the Market Square. Turn right up Queen Street, and Gallery 13 is 100 metres on the left.
Epworth and the surrounding area, the Isle of Axholme, have many interesting features that make it a popular destination, but it's biggest claim to fame is surely as the birthplace of John and Charles Wesley, and therefore of Methodism. People come from around the world to visit their home, the Old Rectory, as well as St Andrew's church where their father Samuel Wesley was the incumbent, the Memorial Chapel on the high street, and several other landmarks that mark the often colourful relationship between the family and the village.
Also on this site, see the Wesley Millennium Memorial Trust page.
